Ahead of the release of his new solo album, CMF2, set to arrive on September 15, Corey Taylor has discussed the themes that inspire and inform his song writing, noting that his musical projects outside Slipknot draw upon much more personal subject matter.
Speaking in a recent appearance on the Zach Sang Show, Slipknot's frontman explains that he regards his solo work as an incredibly vital creative outlet, not least because of his refusal, as an artist, to be defined by any specific sound. "This is me leaning into my inner singer songwriter to be honest because since I was a kid that's all I've really wanted to be," he maintains.
